Release Notes - Installer Fix Attempt

We've made some changes to the installer (attached) and related files in an attempt to resolve previous issues. This release focuses specifically on addressing installer functionality.

What's Changed?

This update includes modifications to the installer and supporting files to improve stability and reliability. We've targeted CLI errors that python gave whenever you started via CMD or via the homescreen shortcut, and attempted to fix the python not installed when installed bug (not functioning fully yet).

Next Steps & Feedback Requested

We need your help! We're eager to hear about your experience with this updated installer. Please test it out and let us know if you encounter any problems or if the issues you were experiencing have been resolved.

Your feedback is crucial for further improvements. Please share your thoughts, bug reports, and suggestions by creating an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/DaDevMikey/Wikipedia-Command-Line-Interface/issues

We appreciate your contributions!

Before you install with the attached executable

The attached installer is a test version. It may incorrectly report that Python is not installed, even if it is. If you encounter this issue, simply choose "No" or "Continue Anyways" to proceed with the installation. We are working to resolve this in future releases. It's still recommended to install the software trough the commands provided bellow and in the readme, since the installer currently contains isseus that will make the software install incorrectly right now
